Terrorists Keep Out! Uh, Never Mind.

Federal authorities arrested three men (and looking for a fourth) in connection with a plot to blow up the fuel tanks at New York's JFK International Airport. The suspects apparently hail from the countries of Guyana and Trinidad. The Feds say the plot, which never got beyond the talking stage, involved blowing up the fuel tanks at the airport, whose lines stretch from there to New Jersey. From what we're told, the devastation would have rivaled that of the events of September 11, 2001.

This follows other similar plots involving a military base in New Jersey and the Sears Tower in Chicago, allegedly dreamed up by wannabe radical groups who didn't have the money, equipment or planning necessary to carry it out.

We are constantly told by the Bush administration that America needs to fight the terrorists in Iraq, so that they won' t come here. Don't bother. They're already here, and they're not necessarily working for Osama bin Laden.
